CHAPTER 8

FIRE PUMP

8.1 Evaluation of Existing Installation

8.1.1 Fire Pump System Overview

JGSPCs fire-fighting system consist of one (1) electric
driven pump, two (2) diesel driven pumps and a jockey pump as
shown in Figure 8.1. This system is protecting JGSPCs critical
process equipment such as vessels, tanks, pumps, compressors,
reactors and auxiliary process equipment. The system is
maintaining the water pressure of the fire water header at 13 bars
via the combination of pressure control valve and the jockey pump.
In case of fire, header pressure will drop in which case the three
main fire pumps will automatically run based on pre-assigned
pressure cut-in values for each pump. If the header pressure falls
below 9 bars, the electric-driven pump will automatically start, if it
continues to drop to 5 bars, the first diesel engine pump will
automatically run and lastly if the pressure drops below 3 bars, the
last diesel-driven engine pump will automatically start. All these
start sequence is trigger by pressure sensing device installed on
each pump. Status of the pump condition is monitored remotely via
plant Distributed Control System by the panel Operator as shown on
Figure 8.2.

8.1.2 Electric Fire Pump Motor Data (GM9900)
The electric driver G9900 is a 600hp 6.9kV 3 phase medium-voltage
motor with the complete electrical specification shown in table 8.1.

8.1.3 Fire Pump Controller

Existing fire pump controller is a METRON MV600 UL listed medium-
voltage fire pump controller. This controller is already on its end-of-
life state with several components failing and corroded panel.

Figure 8.3 Existing Fire Pump Controller Panel

Chapter 8-Fire Pump Page 361

8.1.4 Power Source
Power to the electric-driven fire pump comes from the
6.9kV feeder of TRM. The 3C-25mm2 XLPE cable routed into the
cable trays which traverse the process area and into the fire pump
controller. This process area is a fire hazard zone and has a very
high risk of fire pump cable damaged in case of fire within this
process area.

8.1.5 Reliability of Existing Source

Based on the power plant interruption record from January
2012 up to May 2017, there were four (4) power plant trips one
with more than 4 hours as summarized in Table 8.2 below.
According to NFPA 20 Annex A.9.3.2, a reliable power source has
not experienced any shutdowns longer than 4 continuous hours.
This means that our power plant can be considered as a reliable
source. Moreover, the plant has two diesel-driven fire pumps and
with that condition, NEC 695.3 B 2 exception allows a single source
of reliable power.

2013 up to May 2017)

Chapter 8-Fire Pump Page 362

8.1.6 Design Considerations and Recommendations
1. Since the fire pump motor cable traversed the process area
where fire hazard exists, it is recommended to re-route the
cable outside the process area to minimize the fire hazard.
The cable used is not fire resistant cable so it is also
recommended to replace the cable with fire resistant cable
with 2 hours fire rating. Cable tray shall be used on the entire
length and will serve the required mechanical protection.
2. Existing normal power is not tapped ahead of supply and its
circuit is part of normal loads from a common transformer
serving other utilization equipment. It is recommended to
connect the supply from 13.8kV power plant generator bus
utilizing the spare feeder and 630A SF6 Circuit breaker as well
as a dedicated 13.8kV to 6.9kV step down transformer.
3. The plant has two diesel engine driven fire pumps therefore
no alternative power is required as permitted by NEC 695.3 B
2 exception. However, for the last five (5) years, there were
several incident of diesel engine failure during a scheduled fire
pump test run and these engines are not reliable. On the
other hand, the power plant is deemed not reliable as there
was at least one (1) incident of total power failure of more
than four (4) hours. Moreover, the power plant itself is being
protected by the fire protection system and a fire event within
the power plant area can impaired the normal power supply to
the fire pump. It is therefore recommended to install a
standby generator located within the fire pump area.
4. The step-down transformer 13.8kV-6.9kV shall be located
within the fire pump area. Oil-immersed/sealed type shall be
used.
5. Existing fire pump controller is already on its end-of-life phase
and shall be replaced with a new UL listed DOL fire pump
controller with NEMA 4X IP rating.

8.2.1 Generator Load Calculation (power plant)

The load required by the fire pump motor to supply
indefinitely its locked-rotor current is calculated.

Re quired Locked Rotor MVA 3 x ILRC x V

Re quired Locked Rotor MVA (1.732)(320)(6900)
Re quired Locked Rotor MVA 3.824MVA

Chapter 8-Fire Pump Page 364

 Each generator has 8.375MVA so at least one generator is
required to successfully start, run and supply the locked-rotor MVA
of the fire pump should there be a fire within the plant.

8.2.2 Standby Generator Sizing (alternative power)

With the consideration of normal starting, running and
locked rotor condition, the size of the standby generator is
approximately

Re quired Locked Rotor MVA 3 x ILRC x V

Re quired Locked Rotor MVA (1.732)(320)(6900)
Re quired Locked Rotor MVA 3.824MVA

Consider 3.824MVA or 4MVA diesel generator set with

3phase 6900kV 60Hz output wye solidly grounded. However,
voltage drop during motor starting will be calculated later in this
chapter and will determine the minimum generator size required to
satisfy the starting and running voltage drop using typical values of
reactance and X/R ratio as shown on Table 8.3.

8.2.3 Transformer Sizing
Transformer is sized at a minimum of 125% of the FLC of
the fire pump motor.

Transformer 1.25 x 3 x IFLC x V
Transformer (1.25)(1.732)(47.7)(6900)

Say 1MVA but for future expansion consideration where

there is a possibility of adding another fire pump of the same size,
2MVA is selected. Transformer specification will be as follows:

8.2.4 Normal Power Protection Settings Calculation

The fire pump will utilize the spare 630A ABB SF6 Circuit
Breaker since its capacity is more than enough to handle the locked
rotor condition of the fire pump. Only the Time-overcurrent
protection function will be used and will be set at 115% of the
locked-rotor current of the fire pump motor.

excel plot, the suitable time dial setting is found at 2.5.

controller line terminals shall not drop more than 15% under motor
starting condition and shall not drop below 5% for under running

8.2.7 Equipment Grounding Conductor
Primary pickup current of 51FP is 184A, according to Table
2.50.6.13 of PEC I 2009, the minimum equipment grounding
conductor size is 14mm2 copper. However, since the full load
current of 2 MVA transformer is 84A and the maximum allowable
setting of the overcurrent protection device at the primary of the
transformer is 252A or 300% of the full load amps, a 22 mm2
equipment grounding conductor is recommended in order to serve
for future expansion of additional fire pumps.
